...... my friends don't call me 'Tripod' for nothing.
I'll also have you know that, thanks to Dr Atkins Dodgy Diet Advice, I have reduced my mass by 12pounds in 4 weeks, or 5kg in new money. No beer, bread, pasta, spuds or rice for a month. Several skinfulls of red wine though, and cooked breakfast nearly every day - yummy!
With regard to relations, I can only confess to dressing up as Santa Claus at last year's office party - never had so many drunken women on my lap in one night!
<hr width=100% size=1>I'm average size, Its just that everybody else is short.
Far too many big Nick's around -- as a lad I used to be called little Nick to distinguish me from my uncle, big Nick... course I am now 8 inches taller than he is and weigh an extra umm I dunno 7 stone...
When the Southampton Boat Show bar is knee deep in people trying to get served then Nick is tall enough to stand 20' away from the bar and STILL attract the attention of the bar staff and get served.
He's tall enough to put the emergency tiller in Moondance (in the aft cabin), reach up through the aft hatch and STILL reach the throttle control in the centre cockpit. (As the previous owner then I can only apologise to those of you in Hythe for unleashing this monstrous thing on you!!).
BUT I'm convinced he's got a problem and inferiority complex regarding the size of something about his person; and to make up for this shortcoming he's got the biggest dodger letters on the South Coast!!
